Description
Saccharified and then caramelized in the drum roaster to give a warm red cast rather than simple amber. Toffee and caramel arrive in balance, adding sweetness and body without taking over, which is why it carries red ales, red lagers, altbier and amber IPAs. Usable up to about a third of the grist.
